I have been looking for a copy and at the price that people are asking for them on the net thought I would rather spend my money with a fellow shooter. So if you have 1 to get rid of let me know. Thanks

This site has one for $28. You'll need to scroll down to find it on the page. I just did a search for Gil Hebard, so it came up with some old catalogs as well.http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?keyword=gil+hebard&mtype=B&hs.x=27&hs.y=14

Has the prices of that book gone crazy high? I bought one in great shape - probably was read much if at all - for $15 on eBay a couple years ago. I bought it as a spare or keep sake since it was in such great shape. My normal copy is well read and battered.

Saw one a few days ago at $2500 ....I think. A home I built in 1965 for $35000 sold a year ago for $330,000, we don't make the rules, but have to live with those that do.arh

I wasn't trying to imply anything I just thought that in a couple of years the price has climbed quite a bit. I'm curious as to why. I know it's out of print but it has been for a while so maybe the available numbers are dwindling?

You're first Clark long slide and house are from a different time. My $15 book was only two years ago.

I was at the gun show in Bradenton, FL on Saturday and saw two, one for $2200 in OK outside condition and with good (but underweight) trigger pull. I also saw one for $2500 with almost perfect bluing (the seller had taken it in trade years before and didn't know the history). Ah, if only money was no object and IF I didn't mind overpaying, that .38 long slide in almost perfect condition would be mine.
